Scran season 8: Talking traditions, family and food with Giovanna Eusebi & Sabrina Damiani
When we set out to record this episode of Scran we wanted to investigate the impact of Italian food and the businesses associated with it in Scotland and what we ended up making was an episode about 'generations of strong women'. My first guest, Giovanna Eusebi, who owns Eusebi Deli in Glasgow, used those exact words to describe her family and business. From her fascination with capers to the touching memories she's helped create around the table, Giovanna shares her passion for Italian food and culture and the story of how her business has been so successful. From Glasgow to Edinburgh and the home and kitchen of Sabrina Damiani. I was treated to a beautiful afternoon tea prepared by Sabrina when we met. I heard all about her journey from Sicily to Edinburgh via Oxford, and a career in academia, to now running her own private dining and catering business, Damiani Fine Dining.

Sam Heughan drops major hint Outlander could return after season 8 finale
Outlander season eight might not be the last we see of Claire and Jamie Fraser's love story, if Sam Heughan's hints are to be believed... Outlander fans are already mourning the loss of Claire and Jamie Fraser's captivating love story. The eighth and final season will soon hit screens, as the fanbase prepares to close the chapter on the era. Although we have spin-off Blood of My Blood to look forward to, it's the original thats likely to stick in everyone's hearts. Diana Gabaldon's best-selling book franchise only grew after it was adapted by Starz for the small screen. The series has catapulted the likes of Scottish actor Sam Heughan to fame for his portrayal as Highland warrior Jamie Fraser. The good news? There could be a silver lining on the horizon, despite the fact the show is set to end for good after the eighth run. While promoting his new stage role in Macbeth, Sam spoke about the closing chapter in his TV career and if there was scope for a follow-up series or special, to which he made it clear he wouldn't rule it out. "Who knows?" Heughan said when speaking to Deadline news. "I know they did that with Downton Abbey and others. So you never know. Maybe the ginger wig is still around somewhere." The innocent remark has sent shockwaves through the fanbase. Although Starz has not confirmed any Outlander continuations beyond Blood of My Blood set to premiere later this year, it hasn't stopped many hoping. Elsewhere, Sam is set to return to the stage for his theatre debut as Macbeth, at the Royal Shakespeare Company (RSC). The actor was delighted to announce he will star in a leading role, admitting his dreams have come true. He will feature alongside The Day Of The Jackal actress Lia Williams, starring as Lady Macbeth. Discussing his new role, Sam said: "At age 18, standing on the main stage of the Royal Lyceum Edinburgh, playing 'spear-carrier number 2' (essentially a glorified extra) in a production of Macbeth, I could only dream of one day playing the infamous title character." He continued: "It feels full circle to be returning to the stage, after over a decade working primarily in television and film. Not only is Macbeth my favourite Shakespeare play: intense, immediate and unsettling, it also happens to be famously Scottish. "The RSC has always been at the pinnacle of my ambition and I feel deeply honoured and thankful to be working alongside some enormously talented and creative people. "The Other Place is the perfect space to create an intense, intimate production and, like Lady M, we will be calling upon the spirits of the RSC's highly acclaimed past productions for their blessing."

Picture You Dead, Theatre Royal, Glasgow ★★★ You Can't Break My Soul, Oran Mor, Glasgow ★★★ Two very different shows offer some light-touch summer entertainment, yet they feature one strange similarity, in that they both revolve around the theft - or at least the sudden unexpected removal - of things of value. Picture You Dead | Contributed In Peter James's latest stage thriller Picture You Dead - based on his 2022 novel of the same name, and playing its only Scottish date in Glasgow this week - the valuable object is a £20 painting bought by an apparently sweet young couple in a Brighton car boot sale, that turns out to conceal a genuine long-lost old master by Fragonard, painter to France's ancien regime in the years before the 1789 revolution. Advertisement Hide Ad Advertisement Hide Ad The sweet young things, whose name is Kipling (cue cake jokes), turn for advice to local art forger turned copyist Dave Hegarty, who advises them to hide the real Fragonard in storage, and to commission him to provide a copy for their living room wall, until the original can be verified and sold. The couple duly agree; and so begins a veritable circus of bluffs, thefts, fakes and counter-fakes, in which ruthless art collector Stuart Piper - and his frighteningly violent female enforcer Bobbie - pursue the original Fragonard to the death, while Hegarty the copyist turns out not to have gone quite as straight as he pretends, and Peter James's dogged Brighton detective Roy Grace - with stoical sergeant Bella in tow - gradually unravels most of the puzzle. The play is loosely based on the true story of ex-forger David Henty and his friendly relationship with Graham Bartlett, the ex-cop turned thriller writer who once sent him to jail; and it frolics through its labyrinthine plot in decent style, without ever plumbing any depths, or soaring to any great heights. George Rainsford's Inspector Grace seems a shade subdued in the company of such flamboyant criminals, while Mark Oxtoby turns in a charismatic performance as the gifted rogue Hegarty, and 2016 Strictly winner Ore Oduba plays to his many fans with a bravura portrayal of the evil collector Piper; and Jonathan O'Boyle's production romps its way to a head-nippingly complex conclusion, with a final twist in the tale that elicits a few last gasps from the audience, before they head out into the summer night. Advertisement Hide Ad Advertisement Hide Ad You Won't Break My Soul | Eoin Carey In JD Stewart's latest Play, Pie And Pint drama about 21st century gay life You Won't Break My Soul, meanwhile, Glasgow flatmates and best friends Jordan and Russell have set up a household shrine to their favourite pop diva Beyoncé, and adorned it with their hugely expensive tickets for her upcoming mega-concert in Edinburgh, now just 24 hours away. The only problem is that Jordan - a drag queen still in recovery from being beaten up after a school reading to which some took exception - has ordered in some casual sex in an effort to cheer himself up; and fails to notice his hook-up partner casually helping himself to the tickets as he leaves the flat. Stewart's 50-minute play therefore follows Jordan and Russell through a frantic afternoon and evening, as they try to recover their lost tickets, or to acquire some new ones, with the help of waitress and drag king Sooz, from the restaurant across the road. In the end, sheer desperation - and love for Beyoncé - drives Jordan to rediscover his drag queen mojo, after months in hiding. And the show, vividly directed by Laila Noble and designed by Heather Grace Currie, ends in a celebratory riot of glittery drag performance and raunchy dancing, carried off in heartfelt style by Jamie McKillop as Jordan and James Peake as Russell; with strong support from Kaylah Copeland as the ever-resourceful Sooz, determined to secure a happy ending, for the friends she loves.
